pixie breeding plan

[Salt Life]

first im going to get three pixie frogs
2 in a 20 long divided and one in a ten gallon then put the male in a 40 gallon tank

male in here when i move the savanna monitor

female in here
grow out tank


one in the ten gallon
i dont know if these one is going to be male or female
then wait for then to get big a nuff to breed
then full the 40 gallon tank with water so thay can breed let the male gard the eggs and tadpoles and put female back in 20 long

then when tadpoles

get big a nuff and grow legs and can walk seprate them so thay wont eat each other make sher thay eat then sell them

then they well grow into this

i got it all paned out
(not my pics just the first ones)
good or bad plan

Well, I can tell you that divider you made is going to hold some serious mold.
Not to mention a pyxie could bust through when it loses strength due to being soaked.
Use plexi, way healthier.Or even take a top from a rubbermaid bin and cut it to shape.

Have a good time with it! Just remember that you aren't doing it for money. I did the same thing with White's tree frogs about ten years ago. I got a good breeding group set up. Rain chamber, good diet and space for tadpoles. There is no possible way to raise all of the tadpoles and many times tads are eating their siblings for their first meals. I ended up keeping about 200 hundred out of about 2000. Space and time needed to raise all those babies was very costly and time consuming. Then selling them is chore unless you sell them in lots of 25 or more. Most pets shops get farmed froglets rather than CBB and pay very little for them. I traded a bunch for store credit. I'm not trying to be a kill joy. Just do it for (FUN) and not money. Good luck!

Plan to sell them last. If you make sure you are prepared to keep 200 (or however many tadpoles you raise) adult pixies, you will not be under pressure to sell them when that time comes. Problems will arise if you expect to sell them all, but nobody wants to buy them after your breeding extravaganza, and you are left to care for them all yourself.

Hope for the best, plan for the worst, and good luck.
